This assignment provides a list of specific operating system components. Use the assigned reading and MITRE ATT&CK reference material to correlate operating system components and threat actor activities. The reference numbers next to the components in the list are the recommended ATT&CK tactics you should use during this assignment. Collect your work on the Module $1$ Assignment Template. Your work should be focused on a few key questions:

How does the component contribute to the management and protection of user workloads?

How might the component be compromised by a threat actor?

What is the impact experienced when the role$/$function is compromised by a threat actor?

Refer to the MITRE ATT&CK website using the reference numbers next to identify potential impacts of exploitation.

The components, functions, roles, and security concepts of interest are:

Kernel $($T$1547)$

Non$-$Volatile Memory $($TA$0005)$

Services $($T$1569)$

Device Drivers $($T$1562)$
